The first notebook covers Utah, California, Colorado, Kansas during October 22 - December 10, 1914. There is significant graphite transfer on the first few pages. Appears to include information entered before the date on the cover. Subsequent entries include birdlists (with common name) listed by date, notes about research done, samples taken, and specimens. Most of the notebook is blank. There are two pages at back with notes. Second notebook covers Utah during July 15 to October 19, 1914. These entries include some that are journal style.
